Jets’ head coach Robert Saleh said WR Corey Davis will miss Sunday's game, and WR Elijah Moore will play.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Jeff Smith

Corey Davis had cut out a decent niche inside the Jets' offense and was operating as a fantasy WR3 before being limited in Week 7's game against the Broncos. His departure in that game led to season-high snaps out wide for both Garrett Wilson and Jeff Smith. While the return of Elijah Moore could push Smith back into more of a rotational role, Wilson's usage should be secure as he continues to gel with quarterback Zach Wilson. Garrett and Moore should be considered Flex options heading into their Week 8 game against the Patriots.

The Giants are trading WR Kadarius Toney to the Chiefs for a third-round compensatory pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick.

This trade affects a number of players, but to what extent remains to be seen. Toney had clearly had a falling out with the new coaching regime, and trade rumors began to swirl almost immediately. The 2021 first-round pick has been sidelined for almost the entirety of this season, though the team continued to site health issues as the major reason he'd only appeared in one and a half games. Rookie Skyy Moore has received only 11 targets through six games and has yet to run 15 routes in any single game, so they may plug Toney into the role they were hoping to mold Moore into.

DA says the decision to go with Andy Dalton is a an “offensive decision.”

The tweet added the Saints are going to continue what they’re doing with Dalton. Head coach Dennis Allen said that Winston is healthy but it's all about performance. Hill will likely steal some work at the QB spot as well, but Dalton could at least be a streaming option in deeper, two QB leagues.

As this week of preparation begins, I’m told that Jameis Winston still isn’t 100% healthy yet.

The tweet went on to say we’ll see how that impacts the team at QB this week. If Winston can't go, Dalton likely gets the call with Hill mixing in. The Saints host the Raiders in a nice matchup in an early Sunday game.

WR Elijah Moore returned to the Jets team facility on Monday, and coach Robert Saleh expects him to be active for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Moore was excused from the team last week following his trade request.

Related Players: Braxton Berrios, Jeff Smith

You can follow whichever narrative you'd like; either the team attempts to placate Moore by involving him more in the offense, or they could simply keep him on the bench and incorporate other receivers in their fledgling passing offense. However you see the situation playing out, he's best kept on fantasy benches in Week 8, at the least.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski tells reporters that David Njoku will be week to week with a sprained ankle.

Related Players: Harrison Bryant

Njoku's breakout season hits a speedbump after he had racked up 71 receiving yards and seven receptions on seven targets. Harrison Bryant will be the most likely beneficiary, as he was drafted in the fourth round of 2020's NFL Draft as a receiving specialist. Including Sunday's output, Njoku is the TE6 in fantasy, so hopefully, he can return to the field soon and pick up where he's left off.

Great news from Pete Carroll, who tells us DK Metcalf will not need surgery. He has a patellar tendon issue.

Related Players: Tyler Lockett, Marquise Goodwin, D'Wayne Eskridge

There's still no timeline, though other reports say that Carroll is pessimistic about Metcalf returning to practice this week, so it may be a week-to-week issue. D'Wayne Eskridge saw an uptick in snaps after Metcalf's departure but didn't receive a target in Week 7.

Regarding Jonathan Taylor, everything points to him playing right now. Not yet official, but has practiced all week.

Related Players: Nyheim Hines, Deon Jackson

A full week of practice almost always correlates to a full workload in the subsequent game. Taylor is a top-ten option, even in a tough matchup with the Titans' run defense.
